Energy conservation through innovation was one of the primary goals of watchmaker F. P. Journe when it revealed its first ladies watch known as the élégante. The watch is unique in that it can quite literally stop working after one takes it off his/her wrist and can automatically adjust itself to the correct time after it is put back on. The electromechanical watch is the “only electromechanical movement conceived and created for the luxury market.” (http://www.forbes.com/sites/anthonydemarco...

A few weeks ago, NASA chief scientist Ellen Stofan made news by saying, “I think we’re going to have strong indications of life beyond Earth within a decade, and I think we’re going to have definitive evidence within 20 to 30 years.” It was a bold statement, but NASA is now backing those words with action. The goal of NExSS — short for Nexus for Exoplanet System Science — is to improve our understanding of extrasolar planets, and how their stars and neighboring planets interact to support life....

Scientists using ice-penetrating radar data collected by NASA’s Operation IceBridge and earlier airborne campaigns have built the first-ever comprehensive map of layers deep inside the Greenland Ice Sheet. This new map allows scientists to determine the age of large swaths of Greenland’s ice, extending ice core data for a better picture of the ice sheet’s history. “This new, huge data volume records how the ice sheet evolved and how it’s flowing today,” said Joe MacGregor, a glaciologist at T...

A Virginia Tech research team has developed a battery that runs on sugar and has an unmatched energy density, a development that could replace conventional batteries with ones that are cheaper, refillable, and biodegradable. The findings from Y.H. Percival Zhang, an associate professor of biological systems engineering in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and the College of Engineering, were published today in the journal Nature Communications. While other sugar batteries ha...

Computers are really cool and helpful, but when we're on the computer, we can't connect with each other;  computers can't really interact with humans. "So the challenge and opportunity that lies ahead is how to get the computers out of computing," said Mark Rolston, the chief creative officer at frog.  Essentially, Rolston wants to personalize the experience of interacting with a computer, but also give more flexibility to a "computer user." Rolston came up with an innovative technology to...

At MIT Media lab study to explores the possibility of embedding sensors in Google Glass to robustly measure physiological signals of the wearer.     BioGlass: What if you could see what calms you down or increases your stress as you go through your day? What if you could see clearly what is causing these changes for your child or another loved one? People could become better at accurately interpreting and communicating their feelings, and better at understanding the...
